Don't give me that stuff about Gobal Warming

Don't give me that stuff about Gobal Warming
If harnessing protons and neutrons is easy
Let's harness the warming to heat up our house
To put in a runabout - use in a lorry
There's no point in speaking Of Global Warming
Unless we make use of resources it gives

Don't keep banging on about Global Warming
If all of these people - producing such changes
Have no wit to follow - in ground heat nor solar
Nor wearing the oil-wool - nor cranking the clockwork
If all that a government wants is 'controlling'
by nuclear risk-taking - send it away

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
If planes on the updraght could fly to the far side
And mass transport linkage were really to work
Canals - rivers - seaways - were brought to production
And local production had right ove distant
Perhaps there'd be reason to hope for the best

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
If whole populations who freeze in the Northland
Considered their option to cut back their breeding
And those in the hot place considered not fighting
And those making weapons could just be demolished
Perhaps we could settle to learn how to live

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
If carbon emission - controlled by agreement
Weren't traded for riches - as if all our life force
Could - by its corruptions - be sold and down-graded
To nothing worth having - then power and warming
Should come back - full circle

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
Its sole manufacture - a 'fig' machination
To force mass to 'toe it' - to make by the 'fear run'
With war on each border and war in the kitchen
A first step: each nation should ditch politician
And every corruption that forces the mass

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
If carbon emission - tucked down into mineshaft
Returns in the future - to haunt all our children
And burying problems is all we consider
Then why produce children - what purpose to living
Do we show the future - or have one at all

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
There leaders foregather to nit-pick and wrangle
A pension forever - from fear of a Warming
And empire-build charities stand on the corner
But learning - removed from the mass of the people
Means 'smart-arse' and 'self-serve' rule on with dominion

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
Departments of Plenty ill use - misconsider
Make limits on living and sweep off the hopeful
If 'stages of innocence' kept by corruption
down - for the breeding of body parts - rotting
And this the new purpose - what point has the worry

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
When copyright drugs are denied to the masses
And babies are harvested more than the wheatfield
In sweeping - inhuman - inchoate investment
We slaughter for profit and sling on the scrap-heap
The soldiers who serve us: expendable stuff

Don't give me that stuff about Global Warming
You take like a child in a sweetshop - untethered
Preserve all my finest in deep vaults of 'lost art'
Your waste of my oxygen steals from my children
Your terrible purpose is over 'dominion'
Your 'barrow' of warming has just reached the cliff edge
